Industrial SD and microSD cards provide stability amid industry wide shortages

With global DRAM and NAND shortages disrupting production across nearly every industrial sector, Intelligent Memory has announced immediate availability of industrial‑grade SD and microSD cards in 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB.

The company designed its SD products specifically for embedded and industrial applications that do not need high densities, but maximum data reliability and long-term durability. For this reason, its SD and microSD cards are based on SLC (Single-Level Cell) NAND flash with 60,000 (60K) Program/Erase (P/E) cycles, delivering the high-endurance that industrial-grade storage demands. As they are rated for industrial temperatures, they are excellent for medical devices, data loggers, digital signage, industrial and machine vision cameras, as well as Raspberry Pi- and Arduino-based industrial systems.

“For industrial customers navigating the 2026 memory crunch, IM’s SD card portfolio offers a rare source of reassurance and supply chain stability,” said Alistair Jones, global director sales and marketing at Intelligent Memory. “But even irrespective of the current market situation, baseline flash products are disappearing. Therefore, availability is becoming a decisive competitive advantage for OEMs.”

SD and microSD cards with 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB are available now and shipping globally. Other densities are also available but may have lead times.

The company is exhibiting these SD and microSD cards as part of its NAND flash memory product line at embedded world, in Hall 1, Booth 340, from March 10 to 12, 2026.
